Tim Fetter, the Project Lead Culinary Innovations and Standards at Parkhurst Dining, talks into the microphone while hosting the ninth annual Chopped competition. Fetter said the program’s goal is to give students a fun activity to do on campus while eating good food at the same time.
Duquesne’s Chopped event took place on Saturday evening in Hogan Dining Hall. The program originated out of a partnership between DU CARES/Residence Life and Parkhurst nine years ago.
